City evades
demand for
racism bar —

Vancouver City Council on Mon-
day this week defied public opinion
by. refusing to seek legislation em-
powering it to outlaw race discrim-
ination in issuance of trade licenses.

Non-Partisan aldermen sidestep-
ped a request from Vaneouver Joint
Labor Committee to Combat Racial
Discrimination to take steps to win
equal rights for all citizens by argu-
ing that the federal government “is
considering similar legislation.”

“We would have to ask Victoria
to amend our city charter to give
up power to énact such legislation,
and if the federal government is
already handling it, there’s no need
for the city to do it,” reported cor-
poration counsel Russel Baker.

Under the plan the city would
_be ‘empowered to cancel licenses of
firms proved to be practising dis-
crimination.
couver refuse to hire Negroes.

“Most cities which have this cov-
ered in a bylaw aren’t very sure
whether they have adequate authori-
ty for it,” said Baker.

nothing but bloody war,” declared
Anderson, who held the delegates
spellbound under his , impassioned,
appeal. “The Korean war could end
tomorrow, but they are afraid to
stop it, lest depression take its
place. The boss makes his money
out of war—what do we get? Death,
disease, and mutilation!

“Hisenhow says that he wants

ments. Why? You build smelters
to smelt ore, and refineries to refine
oil, and in exactly the same manner

armaments are built to kill other
workers,”

‘“We should fight all apathy on
the subject and defy the redbaiters
and those who are afraid of them;
we must get hot on the subject
in our locals, in the other organiza-
tions we belong to, get on the floor
and fight for the greatest cause in
today’s world, a cause which if lost
may lose the world. I don’t want,
my children to be obliterated by an
A-bomb or H-bomb,” concluded the
speaker amidst a wave of applause.

SEU RELL ULL ILLICIT Mean Mtn itt nett

Born in Long Branch, Ontario, he
joined the forces in the latter stages
of the war, and came to British,
Columbia in 1947, After working
for more than four years as an
outside civic worker (he is still a
member of Vancouver Civic Em-
ployees Union, Outside Workers)
Lawrie became provincial leader of
the National Federation of Labor
Youth. He is married and lives in
Vancouver East.

“The LPP has been in the fore-
front of all the people’s democratic
struggles in Canada since its incep-
tion,” Lawrie told the audience,
“and we enter this campaign confi-
dent that the people will support
our program.

“Vancouver East is a working
class riding, but at the present
time unemployment has hit this

' area severely. In many cases
workers have been jobless for so
long that they are no longer
eligible for unemployment insur-
ance. Those. families which still
have some members working are
finding it difficult to cope with
rising living costs.

if our government at Ottawa chang-
ed its present policies, based on sub-
servience to the United States, and
opened the door to trade with all
countries on a mutually satisfactory
basis.” .

Dealing briefly with the hous-
ing problem, Lawrie denounced
the numerous “slum dwellings and
firetraps” in the East End, and
called for a program of low-
rental housing.

“Also noticeable in this area is
the complete lack of attention given
to the development of parks, play-
grounds and recreational centres,”
he continued. “If the present poli-
cy of the government is continued,
the only ‘future’ for our youth will
be in the armed forces, T am
pledged to combat the militariza-
tion of youth. The LPP wants to
See young people in jobs, not uni-
forms.” :

8 Guest speaker at the nomina-
tion meeting®was Harvey Murphy,
_regional director of the Interna-
tional Union of Mine, Mill and
Smelter Workers.

Scott. :
